maybe some programs are only done in the registered version.

i don't have a clue, i don't use it, and i don't know if you're registered, so it's just a thought

I have no idea, it was only a suggestion.

I don't use the program.

I don't think WindowFX is able to apply shadow to windows without titlebars. That's my understanding anyway. Did you see it done somewhere?

Screenshots don't mean much. They can be doctored.

yes...
i feel screenshots can be made 'different'. but the shadows were SOOOO accurate which made me believe that they were done by window fx.

but y does window fx NOT add shadows to windows without titlebars??? maybe frogboy could help

My understanding is that certain custom window classes do not get shadows.

what i'd like to know is why checking the 'adjust shadows for shaped windows' option (which sounds like a good idea) actually makes the shadow smaller by ~4 pixels per size?

wit would be cooooool if window fx adds shadows to ALL windows!

but...window fx 2 shadows seem to resemble MAC's right? but i feel MAC shadows r more accurate in terms of SHAPED windows...

for the MENU's in Macs (shaped) the shadows work perfectly

is the STARDOCK team trying to solve this problem?
